CUT&RUN profiling with EHMT2 antibody reveals the expected genomic enrichment pattern in cells. Representative genome browser tracks show CUT&RUN data generated using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Kit (EpiCypher 14-1048) with EHMT2 antibody (Abcam ab185050, 0.5 µg). 500,000 HeLa cells were used per reaction. IgG, H3K4me3, and H3K27me3 antibodies were included as controls to assess non-specific background, active promoters, and repressed chromatin, respectively. Libraries were prepared using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Library Prep Kit (EpiCypher 14-1001). Sequencing was performed with paired-end 50 bp reads, and data were processed on CUTANA™ Cloud (cloud.epicypher.com) by alignment to the hg38 genome. Images were generated using Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV, Broad Institute).

Sequencing was performed with paired-end 50 bp reads, and data were processed on CUTANA™ Cloud (cloud.epicypher.com) by alignment to the hg38 genome. Heatmaps were generated using ChAsE (Younesy et al., Bioinformatics 2016; PMID 27378294). Row-linked data are ranked by intensity relative to EHMT2, with red indicating high localized enrichment and blue denoting background.

Supplementary information

EHMT2 also known as G9a is a methyltransferase enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 165 kDa. It modifies histones by adding methyl groups to lysine 9 on histone H3 which results in chromatin structure changes and influences gene expression. EHMT2/G9a expresses in various tissues including brain heart and liver showing its widespread role in different physiological processes. As a well-studied protein researchers often analyze EHMT2 activity using assays like ELISA and western blot.
Biological function summary

EHMT2/G9a regulates gene expression by altering chromatin accessibility. It is part of a chromatin remodeling complex interacting with proteins such as ANMTA02. Through its methyltransferase activity it maintains an epigenetic silence state important for embryonic development differentiation and cellular identity. EHMT2/G9a plays a significant role in the repression of transcriptional activity of tumor suppressor genes and developmental genes.

Pathways

G9a functions in epigenetic signaling pathways and influences processes like the cell cycle and DNA damage repair. It interacts with proteins in the Polycomb repressive complex such as EZH2 to regulate gene silencing. Additionally in the DNA damage response pathway G9a can associate with histone deacetylases to stabilize chromatin and prevent unwarranted gene expression.

Aberrant regulation of EHMT2/G9a associates with cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders. In various cancers such as leukemia G9a suppresses tumor suppressor genes aiding tumor progression. Connections between G9a and proteins like DNMT1 highlight its role in maintaining a hypermethylation state in cancerous cells. In neurodevelopmental disorders altered expression of G9a affects synaptic plasticity linking it with cognitive impairments and autism spectrum disorders.

Target data

Histone methyltransferase that specifically mono- and dimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3 (H3K9me1 and H3K9me2, respectively) in euchromatin. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 proteins to methylated histones (PubMed : 11316813, PubMed : 20084102). Also mediates monomethylation of 'Lys-56' of histone H3 (H3K56me1) in G1 phase, leading to promote interaction between histone H3 and PCNA and regulating DNA replication (PubMed : 22387026). Also weakly methylates 'Lys-27' of histone H3 (H3K27me) (PubMed : 11316813). Also required for DNA methylation, the histone methyltransferase activity is not required for DNA methylation, suggesting that these 2 activities function independently. Probably targeted to histone H3 by different DNA-binding proteins like E2F6, MGA, MAX and/or DP1. Also able to mono- and dimethylate histone H1-4 at 'Lys-26' (H1.4K26me1 and H1.4K26me2, respectively) (PubMed : 19144645). In addition to the histone methyltransferase activity, also methylates non-histone proteins : mediates dimethylation of 'Lys-373' of p53/TP53 (PubMed : 20118233). Also methylates CDYL, WIZ, ACIN1, DNMT1, HDAC1, ERCC6, KLF12 and itself (PubMed : 18438403).
